The 8th Plague

I saw this for the first time recently. This movie was on my radar for a very long time. Had seen the director's Carver in 2008 n was searching for this movie. This movie is about a girl who heads out to look for her missing sister. The girls female friend also goes with her n even persuades her reluctant boyfriend by tempting him that she will give him "satisfaction". Viewers hope goes up. The gang teams up with local police officer and the mysterious ex prison guard n they head towards an abandon prison in the forest outside town. Over here all mayhem starts. This movie will satisfy horror fans with its lavish amounts of gore, demons/zombies. The abandon prison did add to the creepines. There is enuff kills. There is some nudity n the ending was non predictable. Made on a tiny budget, it does hav its flaws.

First off I have to say this film does have its' flaws.The acting could be a bit better however, the rest of the movie makes up for where the acting dropped off.....These days it seems that a lot of the better films are foreign or have ethnic directors as is the case here in the 8th plague......Franklin Geurarro really does this flick some justice,had this film had a lofty budget i don't think it would have been as good as it was.If you like blood and guts like myself then you will enjoy the 8th plague....heck even my girlfriend said "Did you see that?" "Rewind that you have to see that again...!!!" It normally takes a lot to whoa her believe me....anyways I gotta say that this flick is definitely worth while and that says a lot because i think most of what's out there today is just a bunch of crap...so if you wanna see a good movie pick this up next time you are at the video shop...this truly is what a good B film is made of........

Surprised at the low ratings, obviously a lot of non-horror fans unable to deal with a little bit of fake blood. This is a tense, bloody, gritty low-budget splatter flick, nothing more or less. No plot to speak of, shot and directed in such a way as to maintain tension throughout. LOTS of fake blood, gore effects cheap but convincing. The acting is decent too, considering the genre. The infected/possessed/whatever look like they are wearing black-metal makeup for some unknown reason, which is kind of weird. An utterly predictable twist at the end. Unlike most American horror films these days you can empathize with the main character. With most US horror these days I really want to characters to die and get it over with as they are so annoying and obnoxious, but in this case I found myself rooting for the lead to survive the onslaught. If you like zombie films or survival horror you will probably really enjoy this movie, so long as you are not expecting to take away anything deep and meaningful from it.

I saw this movie last night with three others. After about 30 minutes we were hoping that the movie would get much better, because it surely wasn't scary neither was it nice to look at. There were some funny moments in the movie, too bad that the was intention to be scary, but we all changed the perspective of the movie a bit to be at least a little bit entertained.

At the end of the movie a girl who was watching the movie too said "Come on, someone kill her!" about the main character in the movie, because then the movie would end.

I see this movie as a waste of my time and I was not entertained at all. The three others I was watching the movie with thought about it in the same way. The 4.1 rating the movie has at this moment is very realistic in my opinion. Maybe it should have even lower.

A bunch of kids go into a prison to find a missing person and meet up with some funky demonic evil. Simple enough plot. I caught this thing in the theater a couple weeks ago. It was a midnight showing and I wasn't doing much so I figured "what the heck". It started out a little slow, but once it got going, it really kicked into gear.

I'm a big time horror buff, and I've been watching a lot of low budget horror flicks lately... Mostly they leave me feeling irritated. I've gotta say, this one was kind of a breath of fresh air from all the other B-flicks I've seen. It really gives you the goods; from blood explosions to guts to unexplainable, yet very enjoyable prison sex. The acting was surprisingly good for a B horror flick... for the most part. The main girl was awesome, especially after showering in demonic blood ha ha.

I was especially impressed that they were able to do what they did with so little relative money. The set design and a lot of the camera work didn't strike me as being uber-low budget.

The Gore FX and makeup were really cool too, look out for the eye scene! The theater was only about half full when I saw this, and when a couple of the gore moments pop up there was definitely some giddy applause from the crowd. I found myself joining in, cheering the gore haven on the screen.

An academy award winner, No, but a good horror fix on a Saturday night... perfect for any horror fan.
